9Slides

via www.9slides.com

Synchronize video and slides to re-create LIVE experiences on the web.Embed to integrate with Sharepoint, Wordpress, or any of your websites.Create a public or private library of knowledge for your audience.Deliver your presentations on-demand to any computer and iPad devices.

It's not clear to me if you can actually get video of you speaking attached to the slide presentation or not. If so, I can see the value of it - but if it's just voice, then Slideshare already has that functionality for free.

Wollage

via www.wollage.com

A scrapbooking social-network that enables you to creatively share the memories and experiences that make you, you.

Each scrapbook is filled with collages, which are the pages of the scrapbook. There are individual user scrapbooks and group scrapbooks, called "collections." Collections are made-up of pages linked from individual scrapbooks with the intention of bringing together memories of a shared experience. Your scrapbook is uniquely made-up of your ideas, snips, web scraps, photos, and w/e else you can come up with, all "smashed" together into a collage (a.k.a. a "smashbook"). 

Some notable features available to you are: image cropping (circular, rectangular, triangular, free-hand!), image suggestions, page & photo commenting, free-hand drawing, image & shape resizing and rotating, an "about me" blurp to freely describe yourself, and the ability to invite, share with, and connect to friends and family, making Wollage the best place on the web to creatively and collaboratively share your memories and experiences!

This would be a really useful addition to a teachers pack - students could work together or individually to create a scrapbook.

SlideBomb Academy

What is a Slidebomb? Its not your typical slideshow... Add Youtube videos, Google Maps, images, links to images, text, and more to your slides! As a teacher you can create a portfolio, your students sign up to and they can then create their own slideshows.

Slidestaxx

I had high hopes of Slidestaxx since the overview looked quite good: "Create amazing social media slideshows slidestaxx enables you to gather various social media into a beautiful slideshow for your blog, website or directly on slidestaxx. It's fast, easy and free! Check out some stacks other people have created with slidestaxx in our showcase."

However,  while I could add in images from Flickr I couldn't find any way of editing the actual image and resizing it, which meant that I was only getting the top half of each picture in. I also couldn't find a way to view what I'd created full screen which again renders it less valuable. Let's hope it was just me being silly, since the idea of a product that allows you to pull in content quickly and easily from a variety of sources is a great idea.

Authorstream and Slideshare: Present Live Conferences

Interactive Online Presentation Meetings. Authorstream has produced an interactive presentation mode. Just upload your PowerPoint presentation and share the 'Present Live' link with your contacts. ll your contacts can then watch and discuss the same presentation. You can click through the slides and everyone attending will be on the same slide. Animations work the same way as in your PowerPoint file. Chat with attendees in a common chat area. Call them on your favorite VoIP application like Skype or using the good old conference call and voila, you are in a live web meeting. And yes, Present Live is free for authorSTREAM members!

Slideshare are doing the same thing, and they're calling theirs 'Zipcast'. They boast of the following features:

• Personalized meeting rooms
• Use any presentation: yours or someone else's
• Streaming live video

Both versions have commercial versions. Authorstream costs $2.50 for Pro and $39.95 a month for Business. Slideshare costs $19 for Silver, $49 for Gold and $249 for Platinum per month.

Nice and easy. Just provide the Slideshow Generator application with a bunch of images or photographs and it will create a slideshow for you. Simply choose the type of transition that you want, a timing and you're done. It'll look something like this - I created one briefly using some of my own images (which as an aside I hope that you like):
